NAME
     cvsmail -- add cvsweb.cgi links to FreeBSD commit mail

SYNOPSIS
     cvsmail [-CcdfGgqv] [-u url] [-U url]

DESCRIPTION
     cvsmail  can  be  used from a procmailrc(5) file to add cvsweb.cgi links to
     FreeBSD commit mail, allowing you to easily view the diffs for a particular
     commit.

     The following flags are accepted:

     -C      Print diffs or links to diffs in context diff format,  rather  than
	     the default unified diff format.

     -c      Print  links  to human-readable, coloured diffs, instead of the de-
	     fault plain diffs.

     -d      Include diffs in the output, as well as links to the diffs.

     -f      Munge the data so that a line starting with "From" and a space  has
	     a	`>' character insterted before it.  This prevents some MUAs from
	     assuming that line is the start of a new message if the mailbox  is
	     in  traditional  mbox  format.   It will also insert a dummy "From"
	     line as the first line of the message if the  first  line	read  by
	     cvsmail is not already a "From" line.

     -G      This option causes the URLs for diffs to be included both after the
	     individual  change  lines, and before the actual diff.  This option
	     only has an effect if both -d and -g are also specified.

     -g      This option causes all the URLs for diffs, and, if -d is specified,
	     the diffs themselves, to be included at  the  end	of  the  output,
	     rather than immediately after the ``changes'' line for that file.

     -q      Operate quietly.  This is the default if stderr is not a terminal.

     -v      Operate  more verbosely.  This is the default is stderr is a termi-
	     nal.

     -u      Specify  an  alternate   cvsweb.cgi   script.    The   default   is
	     "http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/".   Please  note  that  the argument to
	     this must include the trailing slash.

     -U      Specify an additional cvsweb.cgi script, to be used in addition  to
	     the  default.   As with the -u flag, the argument to this flag must
	     include the trailing slash.

EXAMPLES
     The following procmailrc(5) rule might be used.

	   :0
	   * ^Sender: owner-cvs-all@freebsd.org
	   {
	     :0
	     * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_4
	     | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-stable

	     :0
	     * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_
	     | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-other

	     :0
	     | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-all
	   }

     This will separate your commit mail into separate folders based on the  CVS
     branch affected.  If you are a committer, you might prefer a rule more like
     this.

	   :0
	   * ^Sender: owner-cvs-committers@freebsd.org
	   {
	     :0
	     * Subject:.*cvs commit:
	     {
	       :0
	       * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_4
	       | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-stable

	       :0
	       * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_
	       | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-other

	       :0
	       | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-all
	     }

	     :0
	     lists/freebsd-committers
	   }
